WILKES-BARRE - The polling place for two Wilkes-Barre wards in the upcoming May 21 primary election will remain at a church hall that is not accessible to voters with disabilities, Luzerne County Director of Elections Marisa Crispell reported Tuesday.

She told the county board of elections she was unable to find a new location for the city's second and third wards. The current location is at the St. Benedict Church Hall, 155 Austin Ave.

The election bureau is unable to use ramps at the church hall because of angled steps, Crispell said. Voters in those wards have been voting there since 2010.

The previous location was Touch of Class Catering.
